RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of two kinds of Kinesio taping methods on shoulder pain in hemiplegic patients with stroke during spasm period. Methods From October,2015 to September,2017,75 stroke hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain during spasm period were randomly divided into group A(n=25),group B(n=25)and control group(n=25).Three groups were given conventional treatment,and group A and group B received two kinds of Kinesio taping methods,respectively.Be-fore and four weeks after treatment,the shoulder pain was assessed with Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),the motor function of upper limb was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA),and their activities of daily living was assessed with modified Barthel Index(MBI). Results After treatment, the score of VAS significantly decreased in all groups (P<0.001), and was lower in groups A and B than in the control group(P<0.05),especially in group A(P<0.01);the scores of FMA and MBI signifi-cantly increased(P<0.001),and was higher in groups A and B than in the control group(P<0.05),especially in group A(P<0.05). Conclusion Kinesio taping combined with rehabilitation training for the treatment of stroke patients following hemiple-gia during spasm period can relieve the shoulder pain and improve the motor function of upper limb and activi-ties of daily living.The curative effect varies with different taping methods.

@#Objective To observe the effect of homemade ankle-foot orthopedic band on motor function of lower extremities in children with foot drop post spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods 24 spastic hemiplegic CP children were randomly divided into observation group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Both groups accepted roution rehabilitation training. The control group accepted walking training, and the observation group accepted walking training wearing the homemade ankle-foot orthopedic band, for 12 weeks. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) of gastrocnemius, range of motion (ROM) of ankle active dorsiflexion, and D and E domains of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) before and after treatment. Results The score of MAS significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.01), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). ROM and scores of D and E domains of GMFM-88 significantly increased in both groups after treatment (P<0.01), and increased more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Walking training with the homemade ankle-foot orthopedic band may further decrease the muscle tone of gastrocnemius, increase the active range of motion of ankle and improve the motor function of lower extremities in children with foot drop post spastic hemiplegic CP.

RESUMO
Oral administration of red ginseng extracts (1% in diet for 40 weeks) resulted in the significant suppression of spontaneous liver tumor formation in C3H/He male mice. Average number of tumors per mouse in control group was 1.06, while that in red ginseng extracts-treated group was 0.33 (p<0.05). Incidence of liver tumor development was also lower in red ginseng extracts-treated group, although the difference from control group was not statistically significant. Anti-carcinogenic activity of white ginseng extracts, besides red ginseng extracts, was also investigated. In the present study, the administration of white ginseng extracts was proven to suppress tumor promoter-induced phenomena in vitro and in vivo. It is of interest that oral administration of the extracts of Ren-Shen-Yang- Rong-Tang, a white ginseng-containing Chinese medicinal prescription, resulted in the suppression of skin tumor promotion by 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-initiated CD-1 mice. These results suggest the usefulness of ginseng in the field of cancer prevention.
